TV show description:
This TV series gives a new take on the classic Arthur Conan Doyle characters. It’s a modern-day drama about a crime-solving duo that cracks the NYPD’s most impossible cases.
Following his fall from grace in London and a stint in rehab, eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) escapes to Manhattan where his wealthy father forces him to live with his worst nightmare — a sober companion, Doctor Joan Watson (Lucy Liu). She was a successful surgeon until she lost a patient and her license three years ago.
Watson views her current job as another opportunity to help people, as well as paying a penance. However, the restless Sherlock is nothing like her previous clients. He informs her that none of her expertise as an addiction specialist applies to him and he’s devised his own post-rehab regimen — resuming his work as a police consultant in New York City.
Watson finds she has no choice but to accompany her irascible new charge on his jobs. In the end, Sherlock finds her medical background helpful, and Watson realizes she has a knack for playing investigator.
Sherlock’s police contact is Captain Tobias “Toby” Gregson (Aidan Quinn). He knows, from previously working with Scotland Yard, that Sherlock is brilliant at closing cases, and welcomes him as part of the team.
Episode #154 — The Last Bow
Amidst Holmes and Watson’s battle with tech billionaire Odin Reichenbach, the investigators receive word of their old enemy and Sherlock’s former love, Jamie Moriarty.
First aired: August 15, 2019.
What do you think? Do you like the Elementary TV series on CBS? Do you think it should have ended or been renewed for season eight?
I’m getting really tired of this show. Time to cancel it.
This is the only show I watch on CBS. The writers should add new depth to the writing though. But even a lackluster episode is better than most other mystery shows on television. Keep it on air please!
I love the show, have watched it from the beginning. Keep it coming. But the writers need to explore the relationship between Sherlock and Joan. It is something they don’t want to do, but it is like the elephant in the room.
I think this is probably one of the best all-around shows on television despite the somewhat disruptive scheduling. It should stay on the air for certain!
One never knows when this show will air – thanks to some idiots at CBS shifting its schedule. Of course it affected the ratings – but I cling to a hope that someone with brains and integrity in the programming department will prevail and renew this show.
Its characters are original and compelling.
Fingers crossed.
Really enjoy this show and hope it continues for many years.
Great show! Hope they don’t cancel after this season
would really hate to see this show leave, we have stopped watching many of the other new shows. please do not cancel
My husband and I love this show! We have watched it from the beginning, and will continue to as long as it’s aired. Please don’t cancel it!!!!
My husband and I watch this every week but this season sometimes had to tape it due to the inconsistent showtimes. Please don’t cancel this wonderful show, we have enough mindless TV out there!
Love the show. My wife and I watch it whenever it is not preempted and we watch all the reruns we can find. Love the 2 main characters and the 2 police officers that appear weekly.
I love Elementary – never miss a show. I have been watching Sherlock shows since back when they were in black and white. It is so nice to sit and watch a show that is entertaining, holds your attention and excited to see who did it.
If they get rid of the background music that gets louder as conversations get more intense. It gives an old idea that was used in early soap operas . It didn’t work then why now. Silent movie music is not needed…
Can’t be done cancel the show. Go to another network who will dump the music..
PLEASE renew the series !!! Love this show. Excellent stories and actors.
Great show. Really clever premise. Fabulous casting!!!
Finally, a strong independent woman who can hold her own. Watson is a true partner who THINKS and REASONS, not a vapid chippy following a macho shoot-em-up cop.
Please renew this show.
